Currently: 2010 this is thought to be the second tallest tree in the world, after a Giant Redwood named Hyperion (115m).

"101m giant swamp gum. The Tasmanian tree has been aptly named Centurion which is a Roman officer in charge of 100 soldiers and is estimated to be about 400 years old." - refer to posted link Tasmanian Record for full report

Historically:

The best known and most famous example is the "Ferguson Tree" which was actually a fallen Mountain Ash downed by a recent bush fire. This was measured by a government surveyor, William Ferguson by tape measure on the 21st February 1872. The length was a staggering (if true) 133 metres (436 feet) with its crown (the tree's top) broken off!! The stump's DIAMETER (not circumference) five feet off the ground was 5.5m (18 feet) and at its broken top its diameter was still 1 metre. It is estimated that had this tree actually still been intact it would have approached 152m (500 feet) in height. The surveyor also noted numerous fallen trees in the same area over 106m (350feet) in height. - see link
